Weekend in Dalarna

The fireplace in our suite

We are just back home after a wonderful weekend in Dalarna that didn't quite turn out the way we planned.
We left early Friday morning going first to Gavle for a coffeebreak at Staffan's house. After that we continued to Svärdsjö to Per och Gunilla's place for lunch. Very good :-) Then off to Tällberg where we were supposed to see Diggiloo at Dalhalla which is outside. Since we live in Sweden you can't tell when the weather is fine or not even not at summer and Friday was the worst day ever. It rained and rained and then it rained even more. You know the rain that no umbrella or rainclothes can stand. You get wet no matter what. To make things worse it was just around 10C.

So after checking in at Tällbergsgården and our beautiful suite we decided it wasn't worth going to Dalhalla and perhaps get pneumonia so we had a wonderful 3-course dinner with wine. Then we took some wine over to our suite, let a fire in the open fireplace and had a very cosy, and warm, time :-)

Next morning we had a great breakfast before leaving for Söderbärke and our good friends Pär and Brita (H.E.A.T-parents) who has this paradiseplace with a lakeview. We love every time we are there. It's just gorgeous and so peaceful. So we went around and ended up at Tolvsbo inn where we had a glass of wine and then back home to their place for some BBQ.
I must tell you that when we sat at Tolvsbo the sun came and the rest of the evening we had the most gorgeous weather and were able to sit outside eating.
This morning Hasse and I took a walk and when we came back we had a wonderful breakfast before leaving.
This time we took small roads back and ended up in Västerås where we had lunch before going the last distance home.

So now we have a couple of days at home before heading to Helsinki :-)

By the way I'm cheering for the USA women team in socker now that Sweden's out. Go USA!

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...

Recap of the week

This week meant a lot to do and I'm afraid I haven't taken the time to write here :-( But here's a recap of what has happened. Monday and Tuesday not very much but I was so, so tired and my joints does not like this weather at all. I have so much pain especially in my hands and fingers which makes it hard even to write here. On Wednesday I went to Norrtälje to my good friend Anne for some treatment, which was very much needed, lots of chat and also a very good lunch. It's always a pleasure to see her and we have so much to talk about all the time. A true friend who I'm so grateful of having. Next day it was time for work and after that directly to the working committe in the Rheumatic association. Afterwards also meeting in the foundation, where we grant money to people who have applied, and fulfill the rules of the statues. When driving home again at night, it's so dark now and I hate driving in the dark, there was an accident with a big truck a...
